So I went to another psychologist and after a long talk she invited my mam in. I went out well turns out that the psych told mam that I was "living in my own world"..I don't know if it's because I have dissociation and she failed her dissociation test or because I sometimes don't know what is real (which is more likely the reason) or both.. I don't know. But if someone does, please do tell and explain because I am lost.
Have a good one!

Firstly it shocks me that your psychologist wouldn't keep your session confidential. At the very least you ought to have been present when she talked to your mother.

Did you get a diagnosis? As, dissociation is a symptom of more than one disorder. It does sound as though you may be experiencing some level of psychosis.

Yeah I was shocked she said something like that without me in the room, she didn't say what she will tell to my mam, she didn't say a word about anything which kinda made me even more irritated..
I didn't get an official diagnosis for DID but my previous psychologist kinda hinted in the direction.. and I kinda knew.
I am waiting for my EEG scan that I did today as well, for what I know parkinson's disease can be shown on that.. so that's a possibility, yet again I don't really know a lot of things about Parkinson's so I will just have to wait and see.

Living in your own world isn't a diagnosis. It's not even close to a diagnosis. It can happen because of daydreaming, dissociation, psychosis, schizoid, stress, epileptic activity, autism and then I'm just mentioning a few.

People who dissociate have no immunity to psychosis. They can have psychotic features just like everyone else.

Did you as ask your mother under what context your psychologist said this? The only way to truly figure out what her meaning was is to ask her the next time you are seen by her. "In your own little world" is a pretty generic statement.

When my mam went out of the office she just sat down and then I asked her "so.. what happened"
she then said "nothing" but I knew she was hiding something
and I said "really?"
she said "She said that it is serious, you will need to see her every week."
I said "what kind of serious?"
she said "She said that you might be living in your own world, so things are very serious"
then the topic seemed to hard for my mam so I just shut up and stared blankly being mad and everything. The whole mental health topic is a bit hard for my mother so I really don't want to push things.

I wonder if your mam was paraphrasing what the psychologist said-maybe putting it into language that she felt comfortable with.

Yes, maybe the doc didn't say it like that at all.

When people without knowledge relay info of medical nature, it doesn't always go well. Just a few years ago I learned my gramma did NOT have Alzheimers. My dad always said she did. But I happened to speak to his sister who said she had dementia like symptoms because of blood clots (vascular dementia). So I asked my dad why all these years he said gramma had Alzheimers when she did not. He just stared at me and sorta hissed at me "Same difference". Which it is not! I tried to explain. He is still worried he will inherit her "Alzheimers" that she actually did not have.

Sorry about the rant but..... maybe ask the doc what they REALLY said...?
